Equipment
Silver wire wheels, LeCarra woodrim steering wheel. Ugly, slovenly paint inside door jambs and hinge posts, windshield corner delaminating, scratched side windows, badly fitting top, ugly chassis painted over old undercoat, door stops not attached, bodged sill plates, and Im sure there was more. Very superficially done and scary but looks OK on the block. A real auction car.
Market commentary
Very perceptive audience at the Petersen. They saw right through the shiny paint on this Healey and identified its myriad shortcomings with their bidding. The seller would have been well advised to take the reported bid (if there was any money) and unload this problem onto someone else.
